Windsor Castle is the family residence of the British royal family, the Windsor dynasty, located on a hill on the south bank of the Thames. The castle was originally built by William I in the 11th century. Due to its long history, the design of the castle has continued to develop over time, royal preferences, and financial changes, mixing classical and modern elements.
The entire Windsor Castle can be divided into the Upper, Middle and Lower Wards. The Upper Ward mainly includes Waterloo Hall (banquet hall), gallery and other palace furnishings, the Middle Ward has a round tower surrounded by a rose garden, and the Lower Ward has the Gothic-style St. George's Chapel.
The upper area is mainly composed of state suites and royal private suites, which are famous for their collection of royal paintings and treasures, as well as furniture and decorations handed down from the Middle Ages, making each room here a small art exhibition room.
The central area is dominated by the round tower surrounded by rose gardens. It was originally built of wood and later rebuilt with stone. The round tower was once a prison for royal enemies, but now it is mainly used to store royal documents and photography collections.
St. George's Chapel in the Lower District is a fine example of English Gothic architecture, famous for its magnificent stone fan-vaulted roof and delicate and colorful stained glass. It has also hosted many royal weddings.

Britain's most famous is the castle and manor house, each castle is covered with a mysterious veil. Behind the high wall is a series of wonderful and moving stories, including Windsor Castle. This "do not love the mountains and the beauty" of the wind, making the castle famous. The attractions are divided into three major parts: Queen Mary's Doll House, State Hall, and St. George's Church. After entering the gate, you can follow the guide to the guide, and you can start the tour with the order of the guide! Languages can be selected, and each place has corresponding numbers and explanations.
Windsor Castle is an extraordinary place in the UK. It is a must-visit spot for big fans of the British royal family. It is one of the favourite accommodations for Elizabeth II and the place of her tomb. I strongly recommend visitors wait for the change of the guards here.
Windsor Town is located on the outskirts of London and is famous for Windsor Castle. People in the town can enjoy a pleasant life and traditional British houses can be found everywhere. Although streets and alleys are crowded with tourists from all over the world all year round, life here is still relaxed and happy. Street shopping area is full of goods, tired of walking to the Thames River cafe or bar to rest, spend a king's leisure afternoon.
It's a very worthwhile place to visit. It's a pity not to go to London. Windsor Castle is located in Windsor Town, 32 kilometers west of London. It is one of the royal palaces and the largest castle in Britain. The reason why it is so famous is that King Edward VIII gave up the throne for his loved ones, and the story of "not loving rivers and mountains, loving beautiful people" has been told for thousands of years. The three major British castles are Buckingham Palace in London, Windsor Castle and Hollywood Queen's Walking Castle in Edinburgh. These three castles are places where the Queen actually lives and organizes public and private activities. Windsor Castle is the largest living castle in the world and is said to be the Queen's favorite residence. The castle is magnificent and beautiful. The interior is luxurious and exquisite. Photographs are not allowed. Tickets include an interpreter and are available in Chinese. The color and clarity of the castle picture scrolled on LCD TV were wonderful when waiting in line for the inside visit. The security at the entrance is very strict and the coat should be taken off.
There was a long queue of tourists waiting to buy tickets at the ticket office at Windsor Castle Entrance. Fortunately, we booked tickets in advance through Ctrip Online, so the number of people queuing for tickets was relatively small. After waiting in line for about ten minutes, the official tickets were exchanged for by the printed order mail. After security checks and the guides with Chinese explanations, they rushed into the castle. After entering the castle, we went straight to the square, where we watched the performance of the Royal Guard changing positions. The most impressive part of the performance was the red dress and the tall bearskin hat. In front of the band, there was a dog with a red cap. Although I don't know the dog's glorious history, it can appear at the Royal Guard's change of duty ceremony. It seems that the dog is no ordinary person. After watching the performance of changing guards in the square, we began to listen to the Chinese explanation of the guide from the entrance of the castle, and began to visit from the very beginning. The whole Windsor Castle is very large, and it is the only royal castle still inhabited in the world. Although there are explanations in Chinese, we still don't understand the order of succession of the British royal family when we hear the names of George, William and Elizabeth. We only know that the castle has a history of nearly a thousand years. After entering the National Hall Suite, we visited two thematic Royal Collections Exhibition Halls. One of them was the Royal Customized Porcelain Exhibition, which impressed us deeply. Rockingham's porcelains are very popular among nobles and royalty because of their rich and flourishing decorative style. Then he went into Waterloo Hall, which served as a banquet hall in "National Hall Suite" to formally witness the elegant and graceful living environment of the British Royal family. From huge oil paintings hanging on walls to exquisite paintings on roofs; from Royal treasures to rare wooden furniture; from brilliant lights to silver tables; from luxurious bedrooms to spacious living rooms. What we see and hear is unprecedented luxury and magnificence. Only the Royal and the British Royal have such vision and ability to arrange their living and living places in such a magnificent situation. It is also a portrait of the glory of the Sunset Empire. It is also a portrait of the royal majesty of Britain. It is also a realistic portrait of the cultural and artistic values of the British Empire. We walk through rooms as we listen, beauties as we admire, and extravagances as we appreciate.
Those who bought the London pass can take the fast track, otherwise there will be too many tourists and the waiting time will be very long. You can rent an audio guide when you enter. The first time I heard the word Windsor was because of the romantic anecdote of "not loving the country but loving the beauty". Today, Windsor Castle is the private residence of the royal family and one of the important venues for royal activities. Especially on the royal festive days and important festivals such as Christmas, the Queen will choose to hold a banquet at Windsor Castle and hold grand celebrations. In the British upper class, people are proud to be able to participate in the ceremony of Windsor Castle. The upper area mainly includes the 13th-century court, Waterloo Hall, St. George's Hall, Queen's Stateroom and other rooms. On the other side is Queen Mary's Doll House. The recent news about Windsor Castle is that a naked man climbed down from the height of the castle and was caught on the spot by the guards. I wonder how the Queen felt when she heard the news. In any case, it is still remarkable that a private residence can be opened to the public for visits.
